ASUS EAH5750 Formula Review

Testing:

Testing the ASUS EAH5750 Formula will consist of running the card through the OverclockersClub suite of games and synthetic benchmarks to test the performance of the EAH5750 against many popular competitors to gauge its performance. The games used are some of today's popular titles to give you an idea on how the cards perform relative to each other. The system specifications will remain the same throughout the testing. No adjustment will be made to the respective control panels during the testing with the exception of the 3DMark Vantage testing, where PhysX will be disabled in the nVidia control panel. Clock speeds on each card are left at stock speeds. I will test the Sapphire HD5870 at both stock speeds and then overclocked to see how much additional performance is available when you choose to overclock the card to see if it this card can unseat the current single GPU fastest card on the market. We have also recently changed up the benchmark suite to include some of the newest titles in the market, including Batman: Arkham Asylum, Resident Evil 5 and Darkest of Days.

ASUS EAH5750 Formula 860/1230

When it came down to overclocking the ASUS EAH5750, I decided to run the Auto Tune in the Catalyst Control Center to see what the maximum clocks that automatic overclocking utlility would be able to find. CCC found 860MHz on the core and 1210MHz on the memory as the maximum clocks. I had a nice base for where to start overclocking. I began by increasing the clocks by 10MHz on the core and found that the 860MHz was the highest benchmark-stable speed. When it came down to the memory, I was able to push it an extra 20MHz.
